I'm not printing out any more schedules until it's finalized.


First I decided to drop my poli sci.

I had second thoughts about French Cinema.

Do I really need Jujitsu?

There's a better poli sci class I could take, but it's full. I can't reach the professor because he seems to have no phone or e-mail address, and actually appears to not work at the University.

Then I realized Math 116 wasn't going to work out.

I still haven't gone back to my poli sci.

But I'm still enrolled.

Did I mention I haven't bought any books?

If I do get into that poli sci with the mysterious disappearing professor, I'll need to switch my history class. My roommate is taking the same class with the same professor, at a different, better time.

But that class is full.

It's also a regular section, as opposed to an honors section.

Is taking honors classes really worth it?

What's the point of earning a Sophomore certificate?

It doesn't seem to mean anything.

Alright, I won't worry about it.....but I could always ask the history professor what I could do to get honors credit for the class. You know, just in case.

I'd better talk to my advisor.

You know, I've been thinking a lot this summer about going into business.

Last semester, it was political science.

Maybe I'll do both.

Let's definitely drop math 116, and take public speaking instead. That works. Good.

French Cinema is gone. Should there be Stats? A different math? Accounting?

Let's apply to the school of business NEXT semester......you know, just in case you change your mind.

Time for Jujitsu......where'd it go? It's not on my schedule any more!

I must have dropped it while I was in with my advisor.

Funny, I don't remember doing that.

I'm going anyway.

Ok, they said I can have a permission number to re-enroll if I decide to stay. Good.

Now.....why am I taking Anthro again?

Because I know the teacher, and because it's an honors W course.

But.....I really don't need it. That requirement is done.

And, the Honors thing again.....it DOES sound nice to say I earned a Sophomore certificate.....

But what exactly is the point?

I've talked to a lot of people, and the decision is made - I'm dropping Anthro.

I'd better e-mail the teacher and tell him, instead of just not showing up.

He's not happy.

Now what can I take?

I've added Econ.....it's enjoyable. But I added it at 2:50 this afternoon. It started at 3.

I walked fast.

Now.....I think I'll take Stats.

Ok, I'm enrolled in stats. All set!

No wait.....now I don't have room for the history I need to switch into to get the poli sci I want.

Better switch out.....there's another Stats class, later in the day. Good. Enrolled.

WAIT a second.....I didn't need to do that! There's no time conflict......the history class is later than I thought.

So now I have a choice.

Early-ish stats, or late-ish stats?

Better check myprofessorsucks.com.

Ok.....the early class has the better professor, and sandwiches my classes so that I'm done by 2pm Tuesdays and Thursdays.

But.....the late class gives me an hour 45 in between everything.

So......which is better?

I've asked a lot of people, again.

I've switched back into the early stats.

Tomorrow is the fourth day of classes.

I've printed out many different schedules.

I need 3 permission numbers.

I'm still enrolled in that poli sci, and the history.

I'm going to 3 classes I'm not enrolled in tomorrow.

I could at least do the reading for History tomorrow. My roommate has the books.

She's not here. I can't find them. I think she has it with her.

I'm going to bed.

from "Family Guy":

-the mother-
"Why can't you find a nice girl like that?"

-the son-
"Aw Mom, she's gonna dump him."

the mother-
"Well, at least he got that far!"

-yawn-

My friends are out at the comedy show at Gampel right now....Steph went to dinner like an hour ago....remind me to tell her that her mother called. Anyway, I stayed behind cuz I'm pretty tired and I don't feel like dealing with thousands of UCONN peeps right now. Some company would be nice though. And, it doesn't help that I have "Desperado" playing....grrr....probably should have gone with the girls. Ah well.

Oo, time for Simpsons!

I love my room already.

Back up at school. Steph (roommate) got here before I did and did some room-arranging, and it looks really nice and comfortable. She didn't stay last night though.
This is gonna be a nice semester. I have my girls on my floor, random people from high school who show up and visit me, and other assorted cool things :) Only thing that sucks is I didn't sleep too well last night....but that will be more than made up for later on. Got my honors/big buddy thing today - definitely not looking forward to sitting through a 'welcome back' presentation, but then I meet my little buddies and get free food. I wish we had at least one more day before classes start.

MONO DE MUERTO: almost got you a life size poster cardboard standup of Homer
MONO DE MUERTO: but then i got really cheap fast
lelila1015: lol
lelila1015: that's a good thing, cuz where would i put it?
lelila1015: but i appreciate the thought
MONO DE MUERTO: and when i say life size, i mean because you are so short he is your height
lelila1015: sweet, i could dance with him
MONO DE MUERTO: as was my thought
MONO DE MUERTO: but then i realized you might start to some really creepy things with it, so maybe this is for the better
lelila1015: probably is

Yeah, Lake Winfield closed for all of a day and a half. But it's all good - my last day there is tomorrow. I'll get this evaluation thing over with, "work" my eight hours, and I'm done with that place forever. Too bad, it's such a nice place.....just needs new management.

This has been one long, odd day. It started with waking up at 5 of 6 on the floor in my friend Julia's house with like 4 or 5 other people......well, if you wanna get technical, the "day" started the night before, but that's another story. So, Julia had a party last night, at her house, in Sherman, which is like an hour and a half away. I left her house early this morning, got home and slept for like 15-20 minutes, went with my mom to 1) drop my sister off, and 2) drop mom off at work in Waterbury, and then drove myself home. I called in late to work, slept for a couple more hours, did some laundry, and went to work. I stayed late at work for another Jewish night. This one was girls, and damn if they weren't even worse than those creepy-ass boys from last month. So I came home around 11:30ish, probably later, and went online, and ordered my new 18" flat-panel monitor that I wanted to order this weekend but waited to see if it went on sale and it did. :) Now I figure it's time to update this here blog, but I think this is all I have the energy for. Thank you, and goodnight.

Long day.

Lake Winfield is closed for the rest of the season. Thank you, dangerously high levels of sediment!


overheard today - "She's my sister; I can make her cry!!"

I have little buddies - I completely forgot about that.

I signed up for the UConn honors program "Big Buddy" program last semester. I absolutely forgot I had done that, until I got a letter today with my little buddies' info. Oops.

Feeling a little anxious right now. 1) Because I ate a lot of cheetohs for dinner, 2) because of work. I got a form letter from the Plymouth rec department today reminding me to turn in my key and sign my evaluation before I go. Evaluation - that's what I 'm worried about. It's probably not going to be good, which sucks because I'm a damn good lifeguard. Yes, I am.

Working at Lake Compounce again tomorrow (have for past couple days). Possibility of country-line dance club tomorrow night. Have to get up early :(.

Goodnight. I hope my buddies e-mail me back.

Ever read the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury? I read it again a couple times a few months back. In it, society is continually bombarded by mindless, brightly colored, loud commercial "entertainment". Not that I think there's anything wrong with profitting off the follow-the-herd mentality of the masses, but I find myself less and less able to stand it. The radio, magazines, television, the internet - loud, brightly colored mainstream entertainment for the masses. Reading that book, you can laugh at how Guy's wife is so absorbed by the White Clown and her living room "family", and gasp in horror as Guy's capture is broadcast (and edited) to every home. Then you'll sit there with your Cosmo and your Starbucks mocha latte, discussing how how great it is that the fat girl won "American Idol". Why should you care about the most moisturizing lip gloss or how you can get your cell phone to ring "Smooth Criminal"? Why is that important to you?
